Abu Dhabi-based Arab Sky News quoted UAE presidential foreign policy adviser
Anwar Gargash saying repeated attacks on ADNOC tankers will not deter the UAE
from pursuing a steady, measured policy. Gargash said UAE policy is built on
deterrence, diplomacy and adherence to international law and that it will, under
international law, protect freedom of navigation and access through the Strait
of Hormuz. He added the UAE will defend its sovereignty and interests while
prioritizing dialogue and diplomatic solutions and will push to strengthen a
unified Gulf position to safeguard regional security and national interests.
